    Do you think 1000 -1500 mmr remakes is going to have an effect on overall prices a few years from now? I will guarantee it won't. Has the remake had a short term impact? Of course it has, but having an extra thousand or so will have no effect long term. I'll give you an example. Shelby American used to have Alcoa build a special custom set of wheels known as "Super Snakes" or just "Shelby Alcoas". They sold retail from Shelby for about $500 per wheel. When they stopped selling them about 4 years ago, they closed them out for around $400 per wheel, and had stock for about 6 months. A year after they sold out they we're selling for $5000 per set up to $7500 for a NIB set. After being out of production for nearly 2 years, and seeing the huge demand, Shelby arranged for Alcoa to do 1 last final run of the wheels. As soon as it was announced, prices on the originals dropped to an average of $2500 to $3000 per set, even though you would be able to buy a newly produced set for $2250.00. Now it has been 18 months since the last production run of 10000 wheels sold out. Guess what? They are all selling for around $5000 average per set again.

    Spider-Man, LOTR and Simpsons were Stern's best sellers of the decade, but all were under 4500 produced. No I don't have exact numbers but this is very close. POTC is less than 3500.
